The recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" on Nov. 25, 1984, marked a pivotal moment in music history, with Geldof's vision bringing together stars for Ethiopian famine relief.
Seeing BBC reports on the Ethiopian famine in October 1984 inspired Bob Geldof to action, leading him to create a charity single that united major artists.
The success of Band Aid's song not only raised millions but also initiated a wave of humanitarian music efforts like 'We Are the World' and Live Aid.
As the song celebrates its 40th anniversary with new compilations, it serves as a testament to the power of music for social change initiated by Geldof.
